Historical Information:
Arthur Middleton Williams purchased the house in 1913, but only lived there a few years until he conveyed the house to Percy Wilbur in 1916. Mr. Wilbur rented the house out and then sold it to Gerard A. Floersch in 1918. A year later, Mr. Floersch sold the house to Millie Schwartzman. During the Depression, the Schwartzmans took on renters to help with the costs. In April 1932, the house was sold to Old Town Realty Company who quickly resold it to Dr. Josiah T. Hiott. The house went to Dr. Hiott's wife Clementine upon his death. When she died in 1966, the house went to a trust for her four grandchildren. However, the trustee received permission to sell the house in 1968, and it was conveyed to the Old Bethel Methodist Church for use as a parsonage.
